Surprise gift from HAL

[DaveOKC]

The FedEx man just delivered a package from HAL. It contained a blue collector dinner plate of the Eurodam!

 

We just (Dec 8) returned from a cruise on the Eurodam and I sent an email to HAL expressing the fact that it was a great cruise on a fine ship, with a fantastic crew. I really sent it to them to name a couple of crew members who did a great job IMO.

 

It was quite a surprise and quite unexpected - a nice touch by HAL to send this to me for my comments.

Very nice indeed.:)

Very nice, I am sure they would much rather get nicey nice letters than what they probably usually get.

Uh-oh ... I get a feeling that HAL is suddenly going to start getting a lot of glowing letters! :D:D

[cmdchiefthom]

That is certainly a very nice gesture.;)

I doubt that they will send this type of thing to everyone who sends in a letter. Its likely based on your travel with them (we did 3 cruises in 2012) and your other correspondence with them (I have been known to send complaint type letters and others that offer suggestions (long story)).

I am a letter writer (ask my wife about it sometime) and have complimented and complained to several cruise lines about various things.

 

What you got is truly unexpected and a super gesture on the part of HAL.

Of course not. I was just kidding. That's what I meant by " :D:D "

Very nice. Another way to keep a customer loyal.

[Krazy Kruizers]

That is a very nice gift!!

There was a time when we did 4 and 5 cruises a year -- 60 - 90 days a year.

Never thought about sending complimentary leters -- just did the compliments on the comment cards at the end of the cruise.

Just think of all the plates you could have acquired by now. :D:D

Very nice but now we all are going to send in letters :p.

Very nice. :)

Enjoy it.

 

We have a collection of the plates and I enjoy displaying them on a long counter on plate holders.

You think?

Kidding aside, that was pretty nice of Hal to do but it was also nice that you made the effort to write a positive letter.:)

Thanks - I used to work at retail and I know how tough it can be to deal with the public, so I like to provide positive feedback to folks when I see them doing a good job.

Not me. Two voyages on the Veendam in 2012. I didn't send any letters of complaint, and certainly had no reason to send in letters of praise.

Very nice! :)
